World Urticaria Day Highlights Chronic Skin Condition's Impact

World Urticaria Day, observed recently, brought focus to urticaria, a chronic skin condition causing sudden skin edema, itching, and red patches. This day aimed to raise awareness, promote understanding, and encourage research into better treatments for those affected.

Urticaria can be triggered by various factors, including physical elements like heat, cold, stress, and chemical products. Allergic reactions to foods such as nuts, fish, dairy, and medications like aspirin can also cause it. Natural remedies include using cold compresses, oatmeal baths, and applying aloe vera, while avoiding heat. However, if symptoms persist for several days, consulting a specialist is advised.

Dr. Rose assures that urticaria is common and not always a sign of a serious condition. To prevent urticaria, avoiding processed or canned whole foods and maintaining skin barrier hydration can be helpful.

World Urticaria Day highlighted the impact of this condition on quality of life, encouraging global attention and research. While urticaria can be caused by various factors and has natural treatment methods, persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a specialist.
